Houston Rodeo Tickets

The Houston Rodeo is the world’s largest livestock exhibition, world’s most extensive regular-season rodeo competition and Southwest’s grandest concert festival. It was inaugurated in 1931 under the name of The Houston Fat Stock Show and Livestock Exposition with seven participants exhibiting their stock. In 1938, a horse show, parade and rodeo were included in the event for the first time besides the livestock exhibition. The tradition of concerts and singing began in 1942 when Gene Autry, known as "the Singing Cowboy" entertained the crowds with his performance. The whole program became Rodeo Cowboy Association (RCA)-sanctioned in 1954. Its current name, Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, was taken up seven years later, in 1961. Some of the interesting events to be held as part of the show were the very first World Championship Bar-B-Que competition in 1974 and a special rodeo program for the Economic Summit of Industrialized Nations in 1990.

As the years passed, the event became bigger and grander. Its eighty year journey saw the development of scholarship funds program as well as the construction of the very famous arena known as the Astrodome. The Houston Rodeo presented a progressive front as they kept installing new technology and kept up with the changes of the time. The area of the venue was also increased from time to time as the number of rodeo fans grew by leaps and bound. This was also the reason that its venue had to be changed from Astrodome to Reliant Stadium in the year 2003. Though both venues belong to the Reliant Park, the Reliant Stadium has a greater seating capacity which is more than seventy thousand. The attendance records were broken in 2011 when more than two million people attended the event.

The Houston Rodeo follows a particular pattern now. The show goes on for twenty days. It is usually held in winter and spring seasons. It kicks off with Downtown Rodeo Roundup which is followed by the Downtown Rodeo parade, the ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run and then the World Championship Bar-B-Que contest. Other entertaining programs include the Rodeo Uncorked, pig racing, livestock competitions, a carnival and the unforgettable concerts! The show is known for calling in some of the all time greats of the music industry, the likes of Elvis Presley, Bon Jovi, Bob Dylan, Brooks & Dunn, Garth Brooks and Willie nelson, to perform at the venue. In 2012, lineup for music concerts include Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, Enrique Iglesias, ZZ Top and Zac Brown Band. So what are you waiting for? Buy the houston rodeo carnival tickets now.
